S, government booklet, "Survival Under Atomic Attack.") Flash burns from the A-bomb's light and heat caused about 30 per cent of the injuries at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Near the center of the burst the burns are often fatal. People may be seriously burned more than a mile away, while the heat can be felt on the bare face and handfe at four or five miles. ' v ... To prevent flash burns, try to find a shelter where the'v is a wall, a high bank or some other object between you and the bursting bomb. Y6U can expect that the bomber will aim for the city's biggest collection of industrial buildings. ' y, A little bit of solid tnafterial will provide flash protection even close to the explosion. Farther out, the thinest sort of thing--even cotton cloth--will often do the trick. "If you work in the open, always wear full length, loose fitting, light-colored clothes in time of emergency. Never go around with your sleeves rolled up. Always wear a hat--the brim may save vou a serious face burn. In all stories about atomic weapons, there is a great deal ihout radioactivity. Radioactivity is the only way-- besides size-- in which the effects of A or H bombs are different from ordinary bombs. Rut with the oxception of under water or ground explosions. The radioactivity from atomic bursts is much less to be feared than blast or heat. Radioactivity is not new or mysterious. In the form of cosmic^ays from the sky. all of us have continually bombarded by radiation every hour and day of our lives. We all ha ?e also breathed and eaten very small amounts of radioactive materials without even knowing it. For over half a century, doctors and scientists have experimented and worked with Xravs and other penetrating forms of energy. Because of all this experience. we actually know much more about radioactivity and what it dors to people th'-ui we know about infantile paralysis, colds <&• 0HMMI I MCOMI TAX allowable contributions remains at 15 per cent if the adjusted igross ii.come on line 4. page 1 of the white form 104ft regardless of the amount in excess of the percentage of the income each may have contributed.

It is easy to understand how radioactivity works if we think Of how sunlight behaves. In the northern part of the World, winter's slanting sun rays seldom cause sunburn, but the hotter rays of the summer sun often do. Still, just a few minutes in the midsummer sun will not give you a tan or sunburn. You have to stay in its hot rays for some time before you get a burn. What's more, bad sunburn on just the face md hands may hurt, but it won't seriously harm you. Onjhe-other hand, if it covers ypur whole body it can make you very sick, or sometimes even cause denth. y iH^he same way, Che harm th.il can come to you from radioactivity will depend on '.lie power of the rays and particles that strike yon. upon the length of time you are "xposed to them nn«l on hoM' inuc) of your body is exposed. provided it is incorporated within the United States or any of its possessions or under thi-ir laws.

That's the report of C. L. Stewart and W. J. Foreman tarm real estate specialists in the Illinois College of Agriculture. Tln-y base their statements in part on U., S. Department of Agriculture survey of land prujfcs from over 250 questionnaires cove r i n g a l l p a r t i ; o f . s t a t e . The survey showed th»' better farm land selling for about $95 an acre above average farm land. is about S percent hjgher than last March. The poorer land is bringing about $95 an acif less than average land, an II percent fncrease -since March. In all parts of the state, exfvpt for groups of counties arnml l ixon and Ca> bond.vle. the price of poor farm land showed a larger percentage in'rease than gjed l.tiid. And Stewart believes that some low-qua)ity land is selling for more than its productive worth j The survey also showed that only five of the 252 persons answering the questionnaire thought selling price of good or average farm land wouM dron in the next six months. Only IS • persons expected poor land to- ilron in price. About two-thirds of those questioned thought the volume of sales ot good, average and poor land would show little change. - Actually between March and October, 1950, there was little change in number of farms listed for sale. In some areas the number may even hav« decreaHeti. But during the suiue period there w.-is » sharp increase in i.umber of inquiries to buy. * « si»ot review over the. state shows only one southern Illinois county where farm land prices are likely to be lower. General property taxes of( $10 to $25 an acre in Cook county are said to be forcing some men to sell ouu In Pike county only estates of deceased persons were reported as being sold, and in Macoupin county some farms have been taken off the market. In Vermillion county land prices would be at their highest if land could be bought. And city buyers have been somewhat active in looking for land in m&ny sections.
